at Trump&rsquo;s Cabinet meeting Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>DOGE and Musk have publicly clashed with a number of Trump&rsquo;s Cabinet members, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, regarding an email the department sent to all federal workers last week. The email required federal workers to respond with five bullet points summarizing their weekly accomplishments, with accompanying public claims from Musk that failure to respond would result in termination of employment.<\/p>\n<p>As of Wednesday, two days after DOGE&rsquo;s Monday deadline, roughly half of the federal workforce had responded. The White House slightly walked back Musk&rsquo;s comments regarding firings earlier this week, but Musk saw full backing on that venture from the president during Wednesday&rsquo;s Cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3329828\/white-house-insists-musk-not-head-doge-declines-identify-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AMY GLEASON IDENTIFIED AS ACTING DOGE LEADER AFTER WHITE HOUSE INSISTED IT WAS NOT MUSK<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re cutting down the size of government.
